The qualification measures preparing for return prepare returnees for their professional reintegration in their country of origin.
With the programme StartHope@Home - Creating New Perspectives, Social Impact gGmbH supports refugees and migrants in developing career prospects for a new start in their country of origin. Since October 2020, the programme has been a central component of the newly created qualification measures preparing for return of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
StartHope@Home - Creating New Perspectives
Since January 2018, the Social Impact gGmbH has been running the reintegration programme StartHope@Home - Creating New Perspectives.
Content of the programme
StartHope@Home - Creating New Perspectives offers subject-specific (online) coaching and workshops in various languages, both individually and in groups. The counselling strengthens the entrepreneurial skills of the participants in order to better prepare them for setting up a business after returning to their country of origin. However, other individual concerns relating to their professional reintegration can also be addressed.
The participants are coached by multilingual trainers and supported by social pedagogues.
